Cricket Australia investigates after Glenn Maxwell is hospitalised following alcohol-related incident

First reported by the Daily Telegraph, it’s understood that Maxwell was out watching Six and Out, the band that features Brett Lee, when the incident took place at live music venue The Gov. What exactly happened is still being determined, but it’s understood an ambulance was called and Maxwell was taken to hospital although his stay was short.

ESPNcricinfo understands that the incident did not involve anyone else. Maxwell had been in Adelaide for a celebrity golf event following the end of Melbourne Stars’ BBL campaign.

“Cricket Australia is aware of an incident involving Glenn Maxwell in Adelaide at the weekend and is seeking further information,” a statement said.

“It is not related to him being replaced in the ODI squad, a decision that was made following the BBL and based on his individual management plan. Maxwell is expected to return for the T20 series. No further comment will be made at this time.”
